"Be Free!" is an FSFLA campaign to renew and promote the essential
values of the Free Software movement: the ethical, moral and social
principles, based mainly on the
Golden Rule,
that lead to the conclusion that not respecting any of the 4 essential
freedoms of Free Software is unethical, that accepting, endorsing or
promoting these practices is harmful to that who accepts them and to
all society, that is, it's immoral.

Linux, the kernel distributed by Linus Torvalds et al, contains
non-Free Software. Linux-libre is a project to
maintain and publish 100% Free versions of Linux, in source code form,
as well as in packages for GNU/Linux-libre distributions, such as
BLAG, and GNU/Linux, such as
Freed-ora.

Manifesto

*
FSFLA is the Latin American organization
member of the international network of FSFs,
Free Software Foundations.
*

Our mission is to defend the rights and freedoms of software users
and developers, to fight for your freedom to run the software
you use for any purpose you wish, to study its source code if
you wish and adapt it to do what you wish, and to copy it,
distribute it and publish it when you wish, with or without
improvements you may have made. This way, you, we and everyone can
use computers in freedom.

When you permit others to trample your freedoms over some software you
use, the harm isn't limited to you. Without resistance, they will
extend their power over you and everyone.

It's a social problem, curable with your help, rejecting
non-Free Software and replacing it with Free Software. Stand up for
your freedoms: try to resist the control imposed on us through the
software we use.

The more people resist,
the more people will be Free, and
the more people will be free to be Free.
